Nightfever DID finish 12th at Towcester in the absence of C22 but that's by-the-by). Is it possible to have 12 teams qualify for Division 1 (2x6, 3x4 or 4x3) at Nationals and then the next 8 (2x4) qualify for Division 2 ? It should be easily possible to seed the event so that all 4 of the "Top" teams can reach the semi's, avoid a pool of death with 3 of the 4 in it and still retain the integrity of the tournament.
